the problem is that these hits will be few and far between after a short while. Most of the hits so far have been very accidental or possibly due to a lack of understanding of the new system( no good explanations for the Skillmans) . The new cars that have been hit won't be fazed potential wise , but could possibly be moved out of stock eliminator. If you remember when these changes were implemented, Jeff Teuton said that it would end up affecting the older combos worse, and I think he sadly may be right. I can see more guys hurting their average in the upper classes trying to catch a DP or CJ, than i see CJs or DPs getting hit in qualifying. A small hit (from average, not instant hit) for the new cars is going to be much less detrimental than a small hit (from average) on say a 396/375.

Prime example is Bob Shaw's caddy. Its even more deadly than the some of the new cars (after what we saw at Pat's CIC race), but i bet it doesn't get hit. Bob is smart.
